Description: Mainly a social linkshell based in Australia. Most of us work full time so prime time is usually every night at around 8:30pm - 2am AEST (which is roughly 1:30am - 7:00am PST and 6:30pm - 12am JST we're in daylights savings now) and sometimes there's a fair number of people on Sunday mornings (AEST).
We're primarily a social linkshell, so most of the time members are goofing around in LS chat. But we do have days set-aside for regular group activities.
Most events tend to occur from 9:00pm AEST onwards.
Some of the regular events include:
Monday Night Assault - All ranks welcome. Missions may be capped at lv 60 depending on participants. If more than 6 people are interested, then we try to split everyone into groups based on mercenary rank. Areas chosen based on groups and Rank Points.
Wednesday Night Salvage - Salvage for fun and itamz. Area based on whatever people need.
Saturday Night Limbus - We managed to zerg enough people through CoP missions to do some regular Limbus runs ^^ So far we've cleared all areas except Proto-Ultima (currently working on it). All Ancient Beastcoins are split evenly. There's usually very low competition for AF+1 materials. Homam and Nashira lot rights are based on attendance and job.
Sunday Night Misc. LS Events - Sunday nights are usually when we hold Promathia Missions and miscellaneous events like Garrisons (usually lv 30 capped), Fishing trips, etc.
ENM/BCNMs/KSNMs - Organised as wanted/needed. We like to sell all the loot and split evenly unless people are looking for specific items.
Nation Missions/ZM/CoP/ToAU - Organised as needed.
Forced Pop-NMs/Sky/Sea - Adhoc events. Sometimes small groups of people go out of their way to gather trigger and call on people in the LS for help.
With these events, we like to focus on teamwork and having fun while doing things as a group rather than obtaining "itamz". If you're looking to maxmise your Assault Points/Ranking/Ancient Beastcoin collection we might not be the linkshell for you :\
LS Forum: Shadow Ravenloft Forums Mainly used as a way for us to organise events with our members (since they are all over the place: we have AU, NZ, NA, EU members) and post up screenshots of our past events.

Normally, there is at least 35-45 people on LS at any given time. We have people who run their own LS's who spend a good portion of time in Imagine. That's saying something!
Members of all levels are welcomed to the LS. We level together, help each other with missions, quests, AF, etc. Shao sets up a few "outside the box" LS events each year. Early this year she ran a LS Awards show called the "Imaginaries" very similar to the Oscars or Grammys with 10 categories such as "Best Dressed" and "Most Helpful". She's currently working with another LS on co-op LS events. The LS is very social and very large with a big emphasis on helping one another and having fun. If you're interested in joining, check out the website and see if it's something you'd be interested. You can post on here and ask questions as well and I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge. You can also send a tell to Shao, who is probably the nicest person you'll meet in this game, or any of the sackholders with questions as well. Also, if you'd like to join, send them a tell and they can get you a pearl. Enjoy!

Linkshell Name : Dominor Bestias
Motto : "Kickin' Tails & Takin' Manes!"
Type of Linkshell : Beastmaster Linkshell
Founder : Insipidus
Pearl Colour : Some type of blackish-grey (or is it gray?)
Requirements : To be a BEAST!
Number of Members : 7 and growing!
Entry Requirements (if applicable): To be a BEAST!
Website : N/A atm
Additional Comments :
~ I say "BEAST!" like that because I'm always reminded of those Snickers commercials where that one Viking/Beastmaster-looking guy is like "FEAST!" or whatever. Haha, random and pointless info, I know.
~ (From an old post) I'd like this LS to be pretty much this: Groups of Beastmasters kickin' tails and takin' manes! :P Making new friends while climbing to level 75 and beyond. It would generally be for those BST's of lower level, but I guess higher level Beastmasters could only help in regards to things like experience/recommendations, BCNM's and whatnot, and the like. I know how frustrating it could be at times to level BST, obtain AF items on your own, or whatever goal you may have, yet I can only foresee fun and fulfilling times battling along side other Beastmasters in the future. There are other BST's out there at your level, so do not fret. If there isn't any within the LS, then we will help you get to our level!
If you think that you might be interested in developing a dominant BST and becoming part of such a shell, then please either contact me here on Alla, or send me a message or /tell in-game when you get the chance. I'm mainly a "weekend warrior" in regards to play time in FFXI due to my current work and school schedule, but I do get online most nights during the week around 6:30-midnight CST as well.
Disclaimer: This is technically my first attempt at creating a Linkshell, so go easy on me. I am not the "leader" per se of this LS. Beastmasters are their own leaders. They follow no one. A little guiding or help along the way never hurt anyone though :)

Pearl Colour : Red
Requirements : A level 75 job, interest in endgame, ability to have fun, show up, and be civil.
Number of Members : 57 (approx. 10 on the inactive list atm)
Entry Requirements (if applicable): Availability during our our Event hours (at least for some of them, we understand not everyone has a completely flexible schedule), willingness to attend, to be friendly and civil, and help the people that are helping you. Access is a definite plus, although we handle it on a case by case basis determined by the total package of what a player brings to the table.
Website : http://www.aqls.org
Additional Comments : Aequitas is latin for 'Fairness', 'Equality', and 'Justice'. We're very much like a family; a very close knit group for the most part. We formed as an alternative to hardcore Endgaming groups for people that don't have the ability to dedicate all their lives waiting for an NM to spawn, for new players that are overwhelmed but eager, and for veteran players who are tired of how hectic an Endgame shell can be. There's almost -always- something going on in shell, even when events are planned, and if you give the group a chance and try talking instead of sitting in silence afraid to say 'Boo', most will be pleased with the social aspect as well.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King Tornado opened their home slate against the Mars Hill Lions on Tuesday afternoon. The Lions broke away from the Tornado with a four-run eighth inning, leading to an 8-2 defeat. King is now 4-3 on the young season.
King (4-3) battled to keep within two runs behind five serviceable innings on the hill by junior Mark Hode (Crystal Lake, Ill.). The Lions broke it open in the eighth inning when Matt Mayo and Phillip Carroll led the inning off with back-to-back doubles as part of a four-run inning. Evan Rogers plated the second run of the inning with a RBI single and Tommy Scala drove home Shawn Weber, who reached base on an error in the field. Jacob Rand completed the breakaway frame with a run-scoring single before Landon Weitekamp (Farmersville, Ill.) threw one pitch to retire three-hitter Tyler Shuler and close out the inning.
Mars Hill added one more run in the ninth and King was unable to mount a comeback, stranding two runners in a scoreless ninth.
King took an early 1-0 lead in the first, benefitting from an error by MHC left fielder Phillip Carroll that placed Cody Snyder (Bluff City, Tenn./Tennessee H.S.) on third after a one-out single. Stephen Mullins (Bluff City, Tenn./Tennessee H.S.) drove Snyder home with a sacrifice fly to right.
The Tornado drew within one run prior to Mars Hill delivering their offensive outburst. In the bottom of the seventh Jose Sola (Aguadilla, Puerto Rico) belted a run-scoring single, scoring Thomas Hooker (Crystal Lake, Ill.) after the junior hit a two-out double.
King starting pitcher Mark Hode (0-1) took the loss after leaving the game down 3-1. He tossed five complete innings, allowing three runs (2 ER) on seven hits.
Thomas Timmerman (1-1) earned the win after throwing an effective 6.2 innings and allowing two runs (1 ER) and striking out three.
The Tornado now prep for a stretch of four games to be played over three days, beginning this Friday, Feb. 15, when King hosts Ohio Dominican University in doubleheader action. The Tornado and Panthers begin the day at 12 noon from the KU Baseball Complex. King will then play two games against the Glenville State Pioneers. Game one will be on Saturday at 3 p.m. and the two teams will complete the set on Sunday at 1 p.m.

The Obama administration's governmentwide bid to curb spending on travel and conferences saved roughly $2 billion from fiscal 2010 to 2012, Controller Danny Werfel told a House panel on Wednesday.
"These reductions have been the result of reducing overall travel, and also ensuring that required travel is completed in a cost-effective manner," he said in testimony prepared for the Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service and the Census Committee.
As part of an ongoing response to last year's scandal stemming from overspending at a Las Vegas training conference by some managers at the General Services Administration, the Office of Management and Budget hopes to reduce spending by as much as 20 percent below 2010 levels by the end of 2013, with cuts in areas such as travel, information technology devices, the executive fleet and agency promotional items. Werfel said the goal involves a 30 percent reduction in travel funds as well as greater transparency and accountability. Agencies delivered their first progress reports on Jan. 31.
Subcommittee Chairman Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, opened the hearing by noting that if agencies meet OMB's goal, "the federal government will still have spent around $4.6 billion in non-military federal employee travel this year."
Despite new procedures requiring high-level approval of conference expenditures exceeding a certain cost threshold, Farenthold said, there were 750 conferences that cost more than $100,000 in fiscal 2012 alone. "The total cost to the taxpayers for these events was more than a quarter of a billion dollars," he said.
Farenthold said he was assessing the need for legislation such as the Government Spending Accountability Act (H.R. 313) to improve compliance. "With the looming $85 billion across-the-board sequester spending cuts, and the administration's unwillingness to offer specific cost-saving measures," Farenthold said, "today's hearing offers us an opportunity to hear how OMB's directive – if fully and responsibly implemented -- can potentially help save the taxpayers billions of dollars by reducing travel and conference costs that may not be necessary for a federal employee to discharge the duties of their office."
Werfel summarized some specific agency achievements:
- The Health and Human Services Department reviewed controls and policies for 120 conferences and reduced costs by $8 million;
- The Defense Department "updated policies, reduced attendees, and combined or canceled several conferences," including 90 previously planned by the Army, and killed a major Air Force technology conference that would have cost $1.7 million; and
- The Labor Department instituted new controls and canceled 100 conferences, saving $1.5 million.
Cynthia Metzler, chief administrative services officer for GSA, which has overall federal responsibility for modeling policy on conferences, said her agency is "utilizing its unique leverage," coordinating with OMB and the Pentagon to achieve savings. It saved the government $20 million in fiscal 2013 by freezing the federal per diem travel reimbursement at 2012 levels, she said.
GSA is also terminating -- already at GSA and soon governmentwide -- the "conference lodging allowance" that pays extra to federal travelers when they attend a private conference that costs more than their per diem allows. "To help agencies prioritize use of federally owned space," Metzler added, "GSA has created an online tool known as 'Federal Meeting Facilities,' which identifies federal agencies that have conference and meeting space for agencies' use." Her agency is enhancing its "e-Gov travel system" to consolidate online travel bookings.
In addition GSA has formed a governmentwide travel advisory committee, she added, that will assemble experts from private industry and state and local governments to identify further ways to reduce travel costs.
Though most lawmakers appeared to agree that greater savings are possible in the travel and conference area, Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., the panel's ranking member, said it was important also to "explore any negative impacts on agency mission and the services provided to the American people that restrictions on travel and conference spending may cause. I fully appreciate that spending reductions need to be made to address our nation's fiscal problems," he said, "but we also need to be aware that cuts may affect agencies' missions and services."
Lynch joined Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., in relaying the scientific community's concerns, placing in the record letters on the value of professional conferences from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
"We should be spending more on the conferences like those which promote innovation in microbiology, physics, chemistry, and a myriad of other scientific subject areas," Holt said. "These instances are not wasteful spending, but instead are examples of federal investments in innovation and economic development."

True or false?
They're all false. But if you got them wrong, you're not alone. A recent telephone survey of 1,027 people conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that 85 percent failed a simple 12-question quiz on sleep. Not only did they "flunk the exam," but two-thirds of those polled also reported sleeping difficulties.
Most people need eight hours of sound sleep to function at their best, but Americans are averaging only about seven hours of sleep a night. One in three gets only six hours a night.
Sleep can be divided into two crucial phases:
The problem also hits much closer to home. Driver fatigue has been identified as the greatest accident risk factor affecting motor carriers. Furthermore, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that more than 100,000 crashes per year are caused by drivers nodding off behind the wheel and that thousands die as the result of such accidents.
The National Sleep Foundation's poll even found that 23 percent of those questioned had dozed off while driving some time in the past year. It would seem that people know not to drive drunk but not to refrain from driving tired. Rolled-down windows, the car's blaring stereo, and a strong cup of Joe is not going to restore all the alertness necessary for safe driving. If your eyes are closing on you, the only surefire way to save your life as well as others' is to pull over to the side of the road and give in to sleep.
Today's lifestyle is so busy that people often don't have the time to recognize the symptoms of fatigue unless they're at a task that bores them. This has given rise to the notion that boredom brings on sleepiness. In truth, boredom only brings sleepiness to your attention.
Older adults. The elderly, too, cope with a special set of difficulties that keeps them from getting the sleep they need. Aging brings on a host of health-related problems that interrupt sleep, such as pain from arthritis, medications with side effects that disturb rest, or depression brought on by the discomforts of the aging process. More than any other population, the elderly rely on medications that keep them up at night. Moreover, a more sedentary lifestyle doesn't allow for the expenditure of energy that results in restful sleep. Last, a slowing of what is known as delta wave activity in the brain doesn't allow for the same degree of deep sleep per night as enjoyed in youth.
But none of this means in any way that the elderly don't need as much rest as everyone else. The combination of conditions that change the sleep habits of the elderly only indicates that they need to alter their sleep habits so that they get enough shut-eye.
If you're troubled with chronic difficulties falling asleep—or staying asleep—see a doctor. You may discover, for example, that what seems like simple snoring is actually sleep apnea, a treatable condition that repeatedly rouses an estimated 18 million Americans from their dreams during the night.
Other sleep disorders, such as restless legs syndrome (involuntary jerking of the legs just when drifting off) and narcolepsy (sleepiness varying in intensity from weakness when laughing to feeling as though you could sleep endlessly without feeling sated) should also be discussed with your physician.

Donald Hall has been named Poet Laureate of the United States, and though Hall is not by any means my favorite poet, I like his personality a lot, and it's always nice to see a neighbor get some recognition.
Because Hall lives down the road from me, I've had the chance to hear him read and lecture quite a few times, and have never failed to be at the very least entertained. Hall's poem "Without" (in the book of the same title) is one of the most viscerally, beautifully sad pieces of writing I've ever encountered. I much prefer his work when he reads it to when it is on the page, because his cigarette-scarred voice is somehow perfect for the lines he writes.
Hall's a good choice for the role of laureate, because his real strength is not so much his own poetry as his support for other poets, and the position is one that's as much about politics as it is about poetry. He's definitely a denizen of the more traditional and (aesthetically) conservative wing of the poetry world, and often passionately so, but he has nonetheless supported quite a wide range of writers. He helped found and continues to guide the Eagle Pond Poetry Series at a local college, a reading series that's often diverse and illuminating.
One of his most lasting contributions to poetry may be his founding of the Poets On Poetry series for the University of Michigan Press. When I was an undergraduate, I devoured all the books in the series that I could find at the library, and learned more about poetry by doing so than through any classes I ever took. Those books gave me a sense of poetry as something people were willing to fight about and live for, and they pointed me in directions I would never have discovered on my own. I hope that in his new position as Poet Laureate, Hall will be able to bring more attention not just to one style of poetry, but to the wide range of poetries being created throughout the country.

One of our favorite ways to stay updated on park life from the office is by skimming through the High Line Flickr Pool. Hundreds of talented professional photographers and aspiring amateurs have shared their images of park visitors and the High Line's architecture, horticulture, and the cityscape beyond.
One recent contributor, Ben Thomas, caught our eye with his tilt-shift photographs, which trick the eye to make the High Line, and the views from it, look like miniature scale models.
As part of his Cityshrinker project, Melbourne-based photographer Ben Thomas visited New York last summer where he captured these incredible images of the High Line and surrounding neighborhood.
Using a variety of photographic techniques to produce a "tilt-shift" effect, normal scenery and passers-by are visually shrunken. Taxis look like toy cars, people resemble plastic figurines, and buildings and trees look like features in a child's play set. These images immediately invoke feelings of curiosity, playfulness, and childhood nostalgia.
Read more about Ben's project and see photos of other cities he's visited.

CRSL: A Language for classificatory Problem Solving and Uncertainty Handling
In this article, we present a programming language for expressing classificatory problem solvers. CSRL (Conceptual Structures Representation Language) provides structures for representing classification trees, for navigating within those trees, and for encoding uncertainly judgments about the presence of hypotheses. We discuss the motivations, theory, and assumptions that underlie CRSL. Also, some expert systems constructed with CSRL are briefly described.

Three years ago, young farmer and activist Severine von Tscharner Fleming founded The Greenhorns, a non-profit organization comprised of young farmers, college-educated apprentices and their advocates. Severine founded The Greenhorns based on a fundamental need—to educate and recruit young farmers. Originally, her idea was to make a film documenting the burgeoning movement of young farmers and to provide hope for a culture viewed -- in both the public and media sphere -- as struggling and dwindling. Soon after The Greenhorns was formed, it became clear that movie making is a long and tedious endeavor—and while they remained dedicated to producing the film, Severine and her allies realized that it was essential to get the message out in other ways as well. The Greenhorns quickly began to grow as a network of projects and organizations, educating young farmers through their blog, radio show and podcast. While the influence of The Greenhorns grew, Severine also helped to form the National Young Farmers Coalition, an organization aimed to fight for and support young farmers by strengthening their social networks, helping them hone their skills through the facilitation of peer-to-peer learning, and fighting for policies that will keep them farming for a lifetime.
Now, after nearly three years of production, the film is ready to take its audience by storm..
Comprised of interviews with young farmers as well as with luminaries in food and sustainable farming such as Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, the film poses arguments for sustainability with evidence from American agricultural history as archival footage from previous eras of agricultural innovation. In the spirit of grassroots movement building, the film will make its way into the zeitgeist through community distribution.
This Wednesday, May 11th, The Greenhorns will host their New York City film premiere at the Anthology Film Archives. The event is also a fundraiser, and all proceeds will go towards the National Young Farmers Coalition. After the film, there will be a panel discussion with founding board members of the coalition, all of whom are farmers and farm service providers:
Sean Stanton, Blue Hill Farm
Michelle Hughes, New Farmer Development Project
Severine v T Fleming, Locust Farm + The Greenhorns + NYFC
Lindsey Lusher Shute, Pistil Farm+ TA + NYFC
Ben Shute, Hearty Roots Farm + Farm Hack

What to CookWeeknight Cooking
Feta, Pine Nut and Mint Pesto
- Jenny
I will admit I am not exactly a snout-to-tail kind of gal -- my kids are not that adventurous and I am just not that skilled -- but I do fancy myself a stem-to-flower cook. This is largely because I am both cheap and nervous.
After realizing last year that there was a dearth of herbs at many of the farmers markets in D.C., I decided to take matters into my own hands this spring, and got to planting. This has yielded all the expected pleasures: Is there anything more divine than a salad fashioned from the cucumber and sorrel you just picked three minutes ago? And disappointments: Damn you cilantro and your sad little appearance, like an extra in J. J. Abrams film! But this has also made me covetous of every little leaf.
I just cannot let anything go to waste, and have taken to gnawing on Thai basil straight from the pot (not bad, a little dirty) and freezing it too (will let you know how that turns out in February). With a two-week vacation looming, I simply could not stand to let my regular basil and mint go unused and possibly dry out in my absence.
So the night before I left, I whipped up Raw Blood Orange Cucumber Composed Salad w/ Bulgarian Feta, Pine Nut & Mint Pesto by coffeefoodwritergirl. (I need to be clear that I did not make the salad, though I have no doubt given the ingredient list that it is delicious and a great accompaniment to this pesto.)
The great joy of pesto, of course, is that it takes approximately the length of one Beyoncé song to make. Before you know it, you're dumping it over some perciatelli and serving it to your across-the-street neighbors who stopped by for a bite, one of whom may or may not be telling you that anthropology is a "step child discipline of the Enlightenment" but you're not really sure because you were too busy dancing a little to listen carefully and besides all Washington dinner conversations are like this, so you'll catch up next week.
There are two revelations about this recipe: who knew feta could be used for pesto, and what a thrill to make it without garlic. I don't know what Bulgarian feta is so I cannot proclaim if it is superior to the sort I had in my fridge, but let me tell you, it makes for a mighty fine sauce -- smooth and tangy. Don't worry about measuring your herbs too terribly much, it will be good. Make sure your pine nuts are as fresh as possible -- the lingering taste of a rancid pine nut is a new addition to the growing list of why I need to clean out my pantry soon.
The husband of the couple from across the street, who is not a fan of any cheese, pushed his pasta to the side in favor of a burger, and his wife, not missing a beat, grabbed the bowl and polished it off. "I have to have this recipe immediately!" she said, moaning slightly.
Makes about 1 cup
- A handful of mint (a little under a cup)
- A large handful of green basil (a very full cup)
- a little under ½ cup pine nuts (raw if possible)
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (from about one small lemon)
- ¼ cup Bulgarian feta (or any feta will work)
- your very best extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 5 turns coarse ground black pepper
- Place all ingredients into food processor (or blender if you do not have). Drizzle a little olive oil in to moisten, then pulse a few times, and continue to drizzle olive oil in until reaches a smooth and fluid, but still very thick consistency. Check for salt and pepper and add more lemon juice if necessary; then blend on high until as smooth as possible. **Note: I also used this on pizza and it was AMAZING!!! Ask a question about this step.
Enjoy Jenny? See the Tender Yellow Cake she baked last week -- a perfect pedestal for all your summer berries.

By Stephen Kalin
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian soldiers entered eastern districts of the town of Yabroud, the last rebel bastion near the Lebanese border north of Damascus, on Saturday and advanced towards the main street, Al Mayadeen television said.
The Beirut-based station broadcast footage showing soldiers charging through a field towards an arched entrance of the town and a sign saying "Welcome to Yabroud". Gunfire could be heard as the soldiers advanced.
Capturing Yabroud would help President Bashar al-Assad choke off a cross-border rebel supply line from Lebanon. The town is near the highway linking Damascus to the former commercial hub of Aleppo in the north and to the Mediterranean coast in the west, where Assad's minority Alawite community is concentrated.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said the government was pounding some districts of Yabroud with improvised barrel bombs and shelling its outskirts.
The anti-Assad Observatory said heavy fighting was going between government forces supported by Lebanese Shi'ite militant group Hezbollah and rebel factions including the Nusra Front, al Qaeda's official branch in Syria, and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), an al Qaeda splinter group.
Thousands of people fled Yabroud, a town of about 40,000 to 50,000 people roughly 60 km (40 miles) north of Damascus, and the surrounding areas after it was bombed and shelled last month ahead of the government offensive.
The government has been making incremental gains along the highway as well as around Damascus and Aleppo in recent months, regaining the initiative in a conflict which entered its fourth year this month.
A senior commander in the Nusra Front was killed late on Friday on the outskirts of Yabroud during shelling and clashes with the army and Hezbollah fighters, the Observatory said.
Abu Azzam al-Kuwaiti was the deputy leader of the Nusra Front in Qalamoun, the mountainous zone between Damascus and the Lebanese border where Yabroud is situated.
He had been a principal negotiator in the prisoner exchange last week which secured the release of 13 Greek Orthodox nuns held by the Nusra Front since December, according ot the Observatory.
More than 140,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million have fled abroad as refugees in an increasingly sectarian civil war. The conflict began with mass street protests against Assad in March 2011 but turned into an armed insurgency after a violent security crackdown on demonstrators.

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
The staff in the Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic at Mayo Clinic's campuses in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota provides skilled diagnosis and individual treatment plans to people with pulmonary hypertension. Mayo Clinic doctors have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension — a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in your lungs and the right side of your heart — can develop on its own or it can stem from several diseases and chronic conditions.
Pulmonary hypertension is a serious disease that can become progressively worse, even fatal, if not properly treated. If you have pulmonary hypertension, it's important that you get appropriate care to treat your symptoms and prolong your life.
A multidisciplinary team of pulmonary hypertension specialists provides your care in the Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic at Mayo Clinic. Doctors may seek second opinions from other colleagues when determining the most appropriate treatment for your condition. If you need care for an associated condition, your doctors collaborate with doctors in other areas to ensure you have coordinated care.
After you're diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, doctors work with you and the coordinators in the Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic to develop an appropriate treatment plan for your condition. Your treatment plan may involve complex medical therapies such as medications administered orally, inhaled medications and medications delivered through continuous intravenous (IV) infusion. Throughout your care at Mayo Clinic, doctors will regularly assess your response to treatment and determine whether your treatment is effective or needs to be adjusted.
A coordinator will provide you with comprehensive education about your medication management and explain what to do if you experience complications. The Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic team will work together to manage or even help prevent complications of your condition.
The staff in the Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic provides you with thorough follow-up care. Team members provide ongoing consultation to you regarding medications and psychosocial issues, direction for ongoing treatment, and information about research opportunities. The clinic staff also partners with your primary or local doctors for continuing care.
Mayo Clinic doctors continue to research new diagnostics and treatments for pulmonary hypertension. Mayo researchers have been involved with clinical studies for pulmonary hypertension for many years. You may have the opportunity to participate in clinical trials for pulmonary hypertension treatments. Learn more about research in the Cardiovascular Research Center.
You may be referred by your primary doctor or specialist. You may also make an appointment without a referral. Not all services may be available at all locations. Please confirm when you request an appointment.

GOSH well we are the only four-year institution inside the Adirondack Park and we're within an hour of 46 high peaks, all that are above 5,000 feet. There is great hunting and ice-fishing, etc., if you're into that sort of thing. We get a ton of snow, so it's perfect for all your winter hobbies (we're 40 mins from Whiteface mountain, and there's also Mt. Pisgah and a few other ski places). We have ice-climbing (too scary for me personally) and we are 40 minutes away from an Olympic training center in Lake Placid with a crazy ski jump. You can even go bobsledding! We have a lot of free classes here, like yoga (which you have to pay for at most schools!) and dance classes, and you can even be set up with a personal trainer. We have some unique clubs, too, like the Adirondack Mycology Club and the Drafthorse club. There really are a ton of things to do for people of all different interests. Come check it out and you'll see for yourself.Read More
In all honesty, we're pretty far out in the sticks up here. The nearest town is 12 miles away and even then there's not a whole lot to do in town. If you enjoy the outdoors, there's hiking, skiing and snowboarding (or sledding if you can't handle that stuff), two ropes courses to monkey around on, and plenty of lean-to's you can canoe to and have a fire at. If you're more the indoors-y type or can't stand the winter cold, the faculty puts on plenty of fun events, and there's also a rock-climbing wall, indoor gym with a heated pool, and tons of other stuff to do.Read More

Post-election, question is how PPACA will be implemented
The immediate clarity the election brings to health care is this: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is here to stay.
Now the question is what, exactly, PPACA implemented will look like. The issues are familiar ones — regulations, Medicaid expansion, public insurance exchanges and how to pay for it all — and the answers emerging in the next months will affect every business in America.
Medicaid expansion
Antoinette Kraus, project director of the Pennsylvania Health Access Network, said the big issue from her perspective is whether Pennsylvania decides to expand Medicaid.
"Right now is the time for Pennsylvania to move forward," said Kraus, who wants Pennsylvania to opt in to the expansion.
The Hospital & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania is urging the same action. Carolyn Scanlan, HAP's president and CEO, said that, although Medicaid expansion wouldn't start before 2014 and there is no federal deadline for the decision, many hospital fiscal years run July 1 to June 30.
That means this spring, hospitals will be working on their budgets for the beginning of 2014.
"Knowing what the state intends to do would be helpful," Scanlan said.
PPACA phases out Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital payments. Medicaid expansion was supposed to balance that loss with an increase in insured patients that would cut hospitals' uncompensated care costs — but since the Supreme Court's ruling made the expansion optional, HAP has been warning that hospitals serving low-income and uninsured patients in particular could be hit hard if Pennsylvania opts out.
Paying for it all
Negotiations on how to pay for PPACA are coming up — and hospitals are keeping a particularly close eye on them, according to Scanlan, because Medicare and Medicaid feature so largely in both federal and hospital budgets.
Also of note is the "fiscal cliff" situation, which is not directly tied to PPACA but will likely be a concurrent budget battle.
For hospitals, Scanlan said, there are actually several fiscal cliffs. One is the overall Medicare payment reduction of about 27 percent that's set to hit in January unless it's averted as it has been in the past. Another is that, unless Congress reaches an agreement, part of the federal budget cuts that hit Jan. 3 will be a 2 percent Medicare payment reduction.
"As we all go through, there's a lot that we all need to be watching and hoping and pressing for," Scanlan said.
David Vassilaros, director of health care reform and regulatory affairs for Dauphin County-based insurer Capital BlueCross, said the biggest issue before the election is still the biggest issue after the election: the rising cost of health care.
"Nothing that happens in Washington is going to change that," he said, and insurers and hospitals should not and are not waiting for government to fix that. They've been working on sharing data, coordinating care and incentivizing the right things, just as employers are emphasizing wellness.
"Another one is teaching our employees and members to be better informed consumers of care," Vassilaros said. "That's a massive hurdle, and as we tackle that, you're going to see improvements."
"I expect a flurry of regulatory guidance," said Matthew W. Kirk, president of The Benecon Group, a Manheim Township-based benefits administrator and consultant.
Robert Glus, a partner and actuary with Conrad Siegel Actuaries in Susquehanna Township, agreed: "Before the election, the general consensus was there was a huge slowdown in guidance that was coming out."
Some of that guidance will directly affect businesses, while some of it will apply primarily to state and health care infrastructure. In both cases, acting on it will likely be a big job.
"The sheer volume of work to be done in order to fully implement the PPACA will require herculean efforts by the federal and state governments," Kirk said. On the business side, "Administrators, carriers and consultants will need to be diligent on behalf of their clients to be fully compliant with all PPACA requirements."
Glus said general concepts have been known for a long time, but not the nuts and bolts of the processes. Now, he said, employers are waiting to see how the public health insurance exchanges are set up, what happens to premiums and how they'll have to report certain things to the government.
"We've been getting a ton of calls and interest in health care now from our employer customers," said Vassilaros. He wouldn't call it a panic, but "certainly a heightened level of interest."
While the insurer itself will be busy implementing regulations, Vassilaros said, its message to businesses is that Capital BlueCross has "been doing this for the past three years" and has tools to help them, such as its newly released employer mandate calculator. Free to Capital BlueCross customers, it's designed to help them assess the financial impact the "play or pay" requirement might have on them.
Vassilaros also noted that the calculator addresses the trickiest part of the employer mandate: Figuring out how many full-time-equivalent employees a company has. Below 50, employers aren't subject to the 2014 requirement to provide health insurance or pay a penalty, but the regulations are complicated.
Sam Denisco, vice president of government affairs for the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, said employers are weighing their options on whether to offer health insurance and how to most advantageously structure their workforce in 2014.
"Employers are looking at each and every employee and their workload from an hourly standpoint," Denisco said. "We've been saying that from the law's inception that we hope that the law wouldn't be a deterrent for employers to hire, saying, 'I'm near 50 (full-time equivalents).'"
Pennsylvania has in the past reported a preference for a state-run health insurance exchange, but its most recent report informed the U.S. Department of Health & Human services that it needed answers to 26 questions before it would be able to officially decide and proceed with planning.
The deadline for announcing a choice to run a state exchange and submit a blueprint for doing so was today. Observers have long said that the state no longer appears to have enough time to pull off its own exchange in time for 2014 open enrollment beginning in October 2013, but instead will likely default, at least initially, to a federal or federal partnership exchange.
Three days after the election, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sibelius announced that the state blueprint deadline was extended to Dec. 14, although states planning to run their own exchanges still had to submit their letters by Nov. 16. She also indicated that more guidance would be forthcoming shortly.
As of Monday, Pennsylvania Insurance Department spokeswoman Rosanne Placey said there had been no response to any of those 26 questions.
"We're currently evaluating the HHS extension letter to see how it may impact the current timelines," Placey said, noting that the extended deadlines "appear to indicate flexibility in the overall timeline, which we see as a positive development."
"There's a lot of infrastructure that's going to have to be built to make the exchanges work," said Glus. He said he suspects Pennsylvania will eventually try to run its own exchange after learning from an initial federal effort.
Glus said the real value of the exchanges lies not in functionality but in the federal subsidies for people earning up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level. And, he said, the new rating rules will also have an impact.
"Pennsylvania's not really had a lot of small-group and rate reform in the past," he said. "It's going to be very curious to see how the carriers react to this stuff with the exchanges and gender and age rating issues."
Where there's uncertainty, insurers tend to play it safe, he said — and "you have to believe at least in the short term, you're going to have a disproportionate amount of high risk" on the exchanges.
There are going to be bumps in the road, he said, but "to truly assess whether this is going to work is going to take a number of years."

Break out the Whip Cream and Cherries!
Relationships are all about sharing. First, it starts out simple, like sharing
a double scoop on a summer day. Then it gets more complex. Ready or not, you'll
be sharing your living space, bank accounts, and crybaby kids. But are you ready
to "share" your controller?
The Adventures of Cookie and Cream has been billed as the first-ever
date game. And why, you ask? You and your significant other get to share
a single controller. I'll pause a moment to let that sink in. Scary, isn't it?
Okay, so the concept is new, but arguably every game out there can be "two
players." One person takes care of movement, the other takes care of the action
buttons. You could even make
it a m'nage " trois by letting multiple partners each man a button and watch
the ensuing hijinx. But of course, that would be just plain stupid.
The Adventures of Cookie and Cream is different. Each player controls
a member of the rabbity duo naturally known as Cookie and Cream. The screen
and the controller are split in half for each partner. Each player takes on
one of the analog sticks and the corresponding right or left buttons.
And well, the only way I can think of reviewing a "dating game" is by playing
it with a "date." So, I grabbed my video game playing princess and we had ourselves
some Cookie and Cream (Please keep that kind of thing to yourself, Johnny
So the story goes that Cookie and Cream are going to the Moon Festival. The
bad news is that the Moon has mysteriously disappeared, and since everybody
knows that you can't have a Moon festival without the moon, the two bunnies
set out on a quest to find it.
It's definitely one crack-addled story, but the rest of the game's quirks
keep things interesting and oddly edgy. The graphics are sharp and cartoony
and the sound effects measure up well. Especially the indecipherable high-pitched
noises that bunnies apparently make.
But what may sound like a simple game is actually very challenging. Basically,
in order to finish the obstacle-course-like levels, each player must set off
switches and devices to help out their partner on the other half of the screen.
Some switches are direct, while other involve a more complicated use of timing.
For example, there's a crocodile on my half of the screen. My partner's side
has a crocodile leash, and she has to pull the leash to keep the croc at bay.
Each player must keep up with the other, because these switches require teamwork.
So if you have a lagging partner, time will quickly run out, forcing you to
try again.
This ends up breaking the game down into a trial and error system that can
become really repetitive. You'll be playing these levels over and over in order
to race through as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, there are more problems. The clock takes away from the fun
rather than add challenge. When you get hit, it often feels like too much time
is taken away. A better time allowance or even a way to turn the clock off would
put more of a focus on strategy.
The most annoying time killers, however, are the flying creatures that attack
the bunnies. If your character remains in place for too long, a creature will
swoop down and bother your bunny, causing time to deplete faster. But sometimes
the game simply requires you to stand still while waiting for your partner to
catch up. These creatures end up becoming a huge nuisance. Isn't the clock enough
to compel speed?
Even with all the annoyances, there's still some fun to be had. It doesn't
lie so much in the action of the game, but from the communication the game demands.
It's just fun to co-op, considering how few co-op games are out there.
To draw another parallel, the need for communication fits with the whole idea
of a "dating game." I can't just go and do my thing without consciously watching
what my partner is doing. If my partner is stuck or stumbling on something,
I have to see what I can do to help.
Speaking of the dating aspect of the game, sharing one controller isn't all
that cozy. I have yet to find a real comfortable position while sharing a single
controller [I can suggest a few books… ~ Ed]. Thankfully, there's still
an option to use separate controllers.
Equally handy is the ability to play by yourself, but in a game that's meant
for two, you might be taking on more than you can handle. Think about trying
to keep two completely incongruous ideas running in your head at once, like,
for instance, the text of the Declaration of Independence and the lyrics to
the DK 64 rap. That's what it's
like to control two rabbits with one player.
So, the final verdict? I love the creativity and the attempt to create something
unique, but there are more than a few flaws that get in the way. The fun comes
from the communication elements, and for that alone, Cookie and Cream
is a worthwhile rental for couples. But be forewarned that arguments can result.
If you want to please your date, try sharing a real bowl of ice cream instead.

As goes DreamWorks Animation, so goes Hollywood — at least in recent months. Two highlights of the studio's third-quarter results, reported Tuesday, mirror some of the biz's biggest trends: the growing importance of international box office and the promise of 3D.
DreamWorks' highest-grossing international film, "Shrek Forever After," helped boost the studio's revenues by 40% to $189 million and its net profits by more than 100% to $40 million in the third quarter. The film has done nearly $500 million in international box office. And about 60% of its total global B.O. — about $735 million — has come from 3D showings.
"This has already been a historic year for the company, and we are still looking forward to the theatrical release of 'Megamind' in two weeks," said CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, "as well as home-entertainment results from both 'How to Train Your Dragon' and 'Shrek Forever After' yet to come this year."
The financials were reported after the market closed. Company's third-quarter profits of 47¢ per share on a fully diluted basis handily beat the analysts' consensus prediction of 35¢ a share. In after-hours trading, DreamWorks shares spiked by as much as $1.26 to $35.90.
"Shrek Forever After," released on May 21, contributed $120 million in revenues to DreamWorks' coffers in the quarter, while "How to Train Your Dragon," released on March 26, continued to make a contribution — $800,000 in the quarter. About 60% of "Dragon's" box office came from 3D as well.
One of the most vocal proponents of 3D technology in Hollywood, Katzenberg said those percentages show that consumers are "embracing this revolutionary format" despite some reports that moviegoers had cooled to high-price 3D movies. Katzenberg also brushed aside complaints from some theater owners increasingly upset with the "sticker shock" exhibited by some movie fans over the gap between 3D and 2D ticket prices. Katzenberg said he'd literally circled the globe twice in the past two months, visiting 18 countries, and not one exhibitor complained to him about price. He said he expects the average gap of $3.50 in price between the tickets to remain in place.
On his travels, Katzenberg said he was particularly encouraged by how many countries are embracing 3D, including China, which now has 2,000 3D screens. He pointed out that six of the 10 top-grossing movies this year have also been released in 3D, including "Shrek Forever" and "Dragon."
Meanwhile, the format is creating new ancillary revenue streams. For example, Samsung will sell its latest 3D TV sets this holiday season along with 3D offerings of "Shrek Forever."
Looking ahead for the rest of the year, the company said it expects fourth-quarter results to be bolstered by DVD sales and rentals of "Dragon," "Shrek Forever" and box office revenue from "Megamind," due to debut in U.S. theaters on Nov. 5.
Katzenberg was overly cautious when discussing the blockbuster sales since Oct. 15 of the "Dragon" DVD. While the company has not released numbers, reports suggest sales have exceeded 1.8 million units — placing the film at the top of DVD sales list for the past two weeks. "The fourth quarter will be the most competitive DVD (release) market we have ever seen," Katzenberg said, "and I don't want Wall Street to get ahead of itself on 'How to Train Your Dragon.' This is a marathon, not a sprint."
Forever the champion of 3D, Katzenberg was leaving directly from the earnings conference call to the airport, where he would fly to New York to participate today in yet another conference on 3D in film.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 10, 2013) - Superior Copper (TSX VENTURE:SPC)
has commenced its second phase drill program at the SB Zone. The program is two-fold set to extend the known strike length and depth of the ore zone as well as to infill gaps between previous drill holes. The SB Zone is a vein breccia system host to high-grade (Cu) massive sulphides, most notably chalcocite, that extends to the south of the original Coppercorp Mine deposit.
In the Fall of 2011 the company intersected continuous mineralization within the structure over a 500 metre strike length with average grades of 3% copper over an average width of 3 metres and to a depth of 215 metres. The best result of 7.27% copper over 4.8 metres with 144.5 gpt silver was also the deepest intersection at only 215 metres. See the news released on November 7, 2011 at www.superiorcopper.ca for more information on the first phase drill program.
Superior Copper will be displaying samples from the Batchawana Copper Project in the Core Shack at PDAC 2013. Come visit our exhibit on Tuesday March 5 or Wednesday March 6, 2013.
Technical information on the Batchawana Copper Project has been reviewed and approved by Delio Tortosa, P. Eng. who is a "Qualified Person" under National Instrument 43-101 and a consultant to Superior Copper.
Superior Copper Corporation
Superior Copper Corporation is a Canadian-based exploration company focused on base metal exploration. The Company's primary objective is to explore highly prospective base metal projects, particularly copper, in order to meet the increasing global demand. The Company has two key exploration projects; the Batchawana Copper Project and the Rivière Doré Project in Quebec.
